Our Goals
- To provide high quality childcare and early childhood education in support of today’s busy families.
- To enrich every aspect of your child’s development, helping them develop a life-long love of learning with the emotional and social skills they will need to succeed in school and beyond.
- To give parents peace of mind, knowing their child is in a safe and caring place during the day.
Philosophy
To offer young children a familiar and engaging place to grow and develop. Through a developmentally appropriate curriculum and specially designed classrooms, we instill in your child a love of learning.
Children are exposed to literacy, science and math through our “learn by doing” approach to curricula. These learning opportunities become seamless in your child’s day of fun.
Welcome to Next Generation Children’s Centers! Your child’s journey to new learning experiences and friendships starts with a nurturing environment in your home and extends to the enriching childcare programs at Next Generation.

I opened the first Next Generation Children’s Center in Natick, Massachusetts back in 1993 after searching–and not finding–a suitable daycare solution for my first grandchild. That search made me realize there was a tremendous need for quality childcare for working parents.
Since then, my team has opened several schools throughout eastern Massachusetts. We are continuing to expand to fill the demand for our services and programs. With each new school, we will continue to innovate and improve the design of our childcare centers, the quality of our teachers and the educational value of our curriculum. In our unrelenting commitment to excellence, we will continue to “raise the bar” for all childcare centers in our area by investing in our schools, our staff and adding to our already rich curricular programs.
Our growth is due in large part to our unwavering commitment to provide parents and their children with the highest possible quality care and educational experience. We constantly strive to be a leader in our field with a curriculum that integrates top early childhood philosophies and teaching methodology including Piaget, Montessori and Reggio Emilia. Next Generation is a local, family-owned business, made up of hundreds of professional educators and thousands of families. Our success also comes from maintaining our role as an industry innovator by creating programs tailored to meet the needs of our students during each unique stage of their development.
The entire team at Next Generation is passionate about providing a safe and stimulating environment for your child to develop a life–long love of learning through play and other enriching experiences. This passion extends to our own families–I am proud to say that every member of our top management team has children enrolled in or who have graduated from our schools.
It’s our privilege and our goal to make our schools the very best for our children as well as yours.
We hope that you enjoy your visit with us. Please feel free to contact us with any questions you might have about our schools and programs. We look forward to getting to know you and your child.
Thank you,
Donna Kelleher
